According to the new curriculum at the University of Split School of Medicine for the 2010/2011 academic year, the Department of Family Medicine based its teaching on its own expert and research work. The adequacy of the communication with the patient, his or her family and the social environment, as well as the concept of evidence-based medicine (EBM) have been defined as the foundation of expert and research work in family medicine. In accordance with this strategy, the members of the Department are involved in conducting journal clubs, Cochrane systematic reviews, research into the health of families where the father is absent working abroad (there are many such families with emigrant fathers in the region), and some are working on developing student letters to patients as an instrument for encouraging communication and empathy. The proportion of theoretical classes was reduced to provide more time for practice-based classes for students. The Work Diary was also introduced, as well as the student letter to the patient, practice of clinical skills and objective, structured, clinical examination (OSCE). The assessment of students is performed in four parts: the grade given by the students practice supervisor, the grade for student letters to patients, the OSCE exam grade and the written exam grade. Students achieved, on average, very high grades. The Department is also involved in the course on clinical and social skills to first and second year students, taking on the task of introducing students to patients and their surroundings.
根据斯普利特医学院2010/2011学年的新课程，家庭医学系的教学以其自身的专业和研究工作为基础。与患者及其家庭以及社会环境沟通的充分性，以及循证医学（EBM）的概念，已被定义为家庭医学专业和研究工作的基础。按照这一策略，该系成员参与开展期刊俱乐部、Cochrane系统评价、对父亲在国外工作的家庭健康状况的研究（该地区有许多这样父亲移民的家庭），还有一些人致力于编写学生致患者的信件，作为促进沟通和同理心的工具。理论课程的比例有所减少，以便为学生的实践课程留出更多时间。还引入了《工作日记》以及学生致患者的信件、临床技能实践和客观结构化临床考试（OSCE）。对学生的评估分为四个部分：学生实践导师给出的成绩、学生致患者信件的成绩、OSCE考试成绩和笔试成绩。学生们平均取得了非常高的分数。该系还参与面向一、二年级学生的临床和社交技能课程，承担向学生介绍患者及其周围环境的任务。
